Lover in the East

Lover in the east,
Maiden of my memories,
Sweet siren of reality,
Despite irregularities,
You still chose to sing to me.

Lover in the east,
Blinding me from peace,
Each new day in grief,
Steadfast in my belief,
These moments will be brief.

Lover in the east,

No place I'd rather be,

We'd disappear beneath the sheets,

Nothing here left to critique,

Blessed be every sleep.

Lover in the east,

A yearning crossing seas,
Doting on the salty breeze,
With eyes that dot the eve,
Return in full to me.
